[@emme]

here we are: PHASE 2 MARVEL! I personally LOVED this movie, one of my favorites from Marvel so far! I was shocked to hear around that this movie isn't considered that to others as well! What do you think is the reason for that? Also I am a month ahead on Patreon meaning that "Thor: The Dark World" is up and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" will be posted there later today www.patreon.com/emmereacts

[@SpFlash1523]

This was the first MCU movie I saw in theaters. I thought it was really good.

[@samuelchallis3420]

I think most people like the movie just fine. There is a small but vocal set of fans that aren’t happy with The Mandarin fake out

[@ru_7833]

The reason we watch, is to see your reaction NOT to listen to ppl that don’t film their reaction ❤

[@coopsdogg6925]

@@samuelchallis3420 My biggest complaint is that the third act is literally just Shane Black doing Lethal Weapon 2 again. A black dude and a white dude running around on a boat with guns, that's how you end a Lethal Weapon movie, not Iron Man lol. Plus Stark spends most of the run time outside of the suit. Yes, the Mandarin fake out was dumb, but so was the Iron Man suit getting hit by the truck, and since when did Stark start making Iron Man Suits out of Paper Mache? They should have called it Tony Stark: Paper Mache Man, cos it sure as hell wasn't Iron Man.

[@coopsdogg6925]

I will admit however, some of the character writing for Tony was really good, but it's hard to enjoy that when everything else going on seems so stupid to me. It's a shame, since Lethal Weapon 1 and 2 and The Long Kiss Goodnight are some of my favorite action movies of all time, so to say I was hyped for this movie is an understatement, but even upon rewatching it several times over the years, I still can't bring myself to actually enjoy it.

[@Rocket1377]

Maya was originally supposed to be the main villain. This was changed during production (after the role had already been cast). The actress was not happy that her part had been reduced to one of Aldrich's pawns.

[@navy0287]

Good O' Isaac Perlmutter and his reputation for being sexist and racist.

[@thedirtytowel3155]

39:27 she knew he was armed, she just didn't think it mattered because her threat was literally to kill herself. him shooting her was just him making a point that he didn't need her.

[@doctor8342]

Tony still has a body guard, Happy is in every film, and directed the first two films (Jon Favreau), he's also like 2nd/3rd in charge of Star Wars now.

[@Thylonicus]

The "barrel of monkeys" scene is the best in the movie, I think, and part of why is it was all done practically. Real people actually fell from the real sky and really grabbed onto each other. It was a team of skydiving stunt performers filming over the course of a few takes. The reality of it makes it the best scene in the movie, even though I do admit I like the two times Pepper got to kick some ass, at the beginning with the suit and at the end with Extremis.

[@lordmortarius538]

Each of Tony's suits that he had made were designed for specific jobs, as part of his Iron Legion. For example, "Igor" aka Mk. 38 was meant for heavy lifting jobs that were unsuitable for his regular suits, while the Mk. 17 "Heartbreaker" was an Artillery RT suit, with an oversized chest Repulsor to generate much more powerful energy blasts. The one he used in Avengers at the end was the Mk. 7. Look up the Iron Legion if you're interested in what he had designed each one for.

[@timmooney7528]

In the comics the true identity of Iron Man was still a secret, hence Happy Hogan was still his body guard. People assumed Iron Man was another one of Starks body guards.

[@silentw1979]

IM3 is the most underrated MCU movie thus far imo. It's such a gem

[@Firefax]

Regarding he free fall rescue, if you look in the credits, you'll see that the whole sequence was performed by the Red Bul Skydiving Team. Those people were actually falling and it looks spectacular.

[@tooluser]

"I wonder if Harley will be in future movies?" Yes, yes he will.

[@SC457A]

A lot of people miss him too.

[@kenschortgenjr7540]

By the way Emme, that little girl (daughter of the VP) with a missing half leg is a YOUNG Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Addams).

[@Metzwerg74]

gotta check this.... thanx for the info....

[@ricardoortiz4870]

I knew she looked familiar when I first watched Wednesday.

[@officialmonarchmusic]

I literally don't care what anyone says. THIS MOVIE RULES! The Mandarin twist is admittedly a bit disappointing, because of how scary he was in those broadcasts, but the movie is intense, high-stakes, and has a great arc for Tony, as well as housing the best Iron Man action in the series.

[@markcainyourfriendinthecar3387]

I would be really happy if Ben Kingsley played the real Mandarin. He's so good.

[@craigmccuistian]

The BEST outtake from any marvel movie is Ben Kingsley improvising different accents in this outtakes reel.

[@nolanrussell6326]

Agreed. It's interesting that most reactors seem to really like this one. It seems that going into it blind and with minimal to no comic book knowledge seems to improve people's opinions of it. I think comic fans were too disappointed by the Mandarin twist, especially with how menacing and prominent he was in the trailers/marketing, that they've kind of overlooked all the other things this movie did very well.

[@officialmonarchmusic]

@@nolanrussell6326 The Mandarin twist, in my opinion, was a flaw. Not because of the comics or whatever, (I also think these movies can and should reinvent these stories) but because of how awesome he was in all of the “lessons”. Some of the most engaging villain videos I’ve ever seen. It was ultimately a letdown to get a less scary and far less interesting villain. But that aside, yeah this movie is awesome

[@monitor-mindtheover-void6712]

Agreed

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

The idea behind the free fall from the plane is that Tony can only fly with 4 people which is why he just keeps dropping and basically slows their descent enough that they survive. They did that all for real which is incredible. They built ultra thin parachutes into the clothes and hired a professional skydiving team to do the jumps. I think they practiced for about 2 weeks to figure out how to film it and make it look like everyone is falling while still being safe. Then when they actually filmed they did I think it was around 60-70 dives over a couple of days. I went skydiving once and could never go again.

[@mattfromwiisports4910]

This movie did a really good job showing how ptsd can effect people

[@coltchan7380]

I like how accurately ptsd is portrayed. The barrel of monkeys scene is one of a kind.

[@kdnofyudbn5918]

Some how your reaction made me like Iron Man 3, which I was ugh about when I first saw it . Plus once you see the rest of the phase 2 you understand that this movie ties in and is important. Thank you.

[@nintenmetro]

This movie had me cracking up over and over. Tony has a knack for landing jokes at the most inappropriate times. More importantly, Trevor and Aldrich were impostors who had no affiliation to the Ten Rings whatsoever, but there’s someone out there who’s in charge of the organization - someone you don’t wanna mess with. You’ll meet him in the long run. For now, I recommend checking out the One-Shot called All Hail The King.

[@jasonsenter1646]

Finally someone else who thinks this movie is better than the first Iron Man! This movie is extremely underrated by most people. I'm genuinely surprised it's your favorite so far but I am still super happy about that.

[@hansen85]

My favorite Iron Man movie.

[@pandaman1677]

It’s my least favorite. The villian should have been the real mandarin.

[@deanthemachine7489]

It’s so nice to see you experiencing these movies for the first time and reminds me of the excitement I felt when first watching them. If you continue, I can’t wait for your eventual reaction to Infinity War and Endgame because SOOO much of things set up in these movies pay off

[@williamhu6941]

Robert Downey Jr. has been really good at playing the billionaire since the first Iron Man movie and no one could ever replace him. And I’m glad to see that you’re taking your time with the Marvel movies since the projects are still on the way after the announcement at last year’s San Diego Comic Con.

[@ldkinbote]

Mandarin: I intend to end this by Christmas morning. Emme: What day is it today? I don't know why, but that cracked me UP! It's a completely logical question, but I don't think I ever heard anyone ask that at that point.

[@BoTheFo]

And by far the airplane scene is WILD! He literally saved all their lives in a matter of second with his decision making

[@JustInTimeMovies]

I think you figured out that Tony’s 90s bodyguard is Happy, played by Jon Favreau. You may also know (I love talking about Jon cuz he’s so awesome) Jon is one of the best directors out there. He directed Iron Man 1 & 2, and is show runner for the Mandalorian (which you will see later). 😀 If you haven’t seen them, Jon is awesome in Rudy ☘️, Swingers 💃🕺, and Chef! 😀

[@Narutoanime16g]

Your couch in the back look so comfy & I love this one a lot Tony is capable with & without the suit I feel people forget that sometimes. & he went through quite a bit this film especially with his ptsd I like them adressing that. The sky dive scene was shot so well

[@jeffthompson9622]

You asked why Tony didn't have an anxiety attack when all of those people were falling. I assume that he was so focused on solving the problem that it wasn't an issue.

[@PhilBagels]

Plus the fact that he himself wasn't in any danger.

[@iReiGNxx]

Plus his anxiety was more centered on his fears of the alien attack and Pepper’s safety, not danger to himself in general.

[@SoldierOfLove223]

Bro all the iron man movies are SOOOO good, I just don’t know which one Is better

[@stuckinparadise9676]

7:18 that's Guy Pierce, the actor from Count of Monte Cristo, Hurt Locker, among others. The other actor playing the fake Mandarin is sir Ben Kingsley, who also acted in films like Gandhi and Schindler's List.

[@whoami1162]

#3:04 That body guard (Happy) in the beginning is Jon Favreau, the director of Iron man 1 & 2.

[@legendsofabhaile]

Iron Man 3 got such a bad rap, it's probably my favorite of the trilogy. Love your videos ma'am.

[@Kritikal_G]

I've never had anyone to watch the Marvel movies with myself. It's been great watching you go through the whole journey and appreciate the great moments and connectivity of it all. Thank you for your content. With you till the end of the line.

[@prometheuszero9]

Emme: "You know, Happy's on a good trail." Me: "You might even say.... _Happy Trails_ amirite?"

[@danielmiller8156]

The boy appears once more in the MCU in the later part of Avengers: End Game. Most people don't recognize him;

[@danielhaynes2373]

I used to be personal friends with Robin Meade, who appeared briefly on one of Stark's flat screen TV's in the background of one scene. I asked her if she knew about it and she said she had but never watched the movie.

[@georger.3489]

This Iron man definitely better than the previous one. Loved your reaction :D

[@JBragason]

Emme: "cool! the suit can pull himself off with the hand."

[@thehuglife4294]

Right! Hahaha.

[@Spidercat616]

Probably the first thing Howard Wolowitz from TBBT would do...

[@ZSN_EDITS23]

The bodyguard was happy btw

[@donaldwatson7698]

Emme, first time viewer and I'm working through the channel playlist. Has anyone suggested watching the Marvel One-Shot mini films? If not, they flesh out characters and situations from the movies. Iron Man 3 had a sequel of sorts in the brief One-Shot called "All Hail The King" which is available on Disney+ along with the others. Some of the films you've already seen had One-Shot follow-ups as well. Also, IM3 reminded me, you might want to consider watching TV show "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." which also draws material from this film for their first season. Thanks for the reactions!

[@watchthis.5094]

Literally clicked before my Brain could even process it lmao Love your reactions 🖤

[@SpFlash1523]

56:33 That scene was actually filmed with stunt doubles falling out of the sky.

[@turtletrekker86]

This is one of the things I came in here to say. While there were some CGI tweaks made for the purposes of the scene, that entire sequence was done literally wild the players were falling from the sky.

[@SpFlash1523]

@@turtletrekker86 Yep.

[@susanesquer1520]

Well done Emme! Well done! You do a marvelous job! Stay awesome Emme!

[@ivanzamarripa9393]

lil jenna ortega cameo at 42:27

[@ricardoortiz4870]

I knew she looked familiar.

[@almag4571]

To your question, the Free Fall Rescue was definitely stressful the first time I watched this in theaters, but it's been too long to remember if it affected me like it did you. I suppose the fact I don't remember my reaction shows it wasn't that drastic. Love your reactions, welcome to phase 2, and see you next time ❤

[@dracomaster4]

42:27 Apologies if anyone else called this out already, but the girl in the wheelchair is none other than Jenna Ortega of Wednesday fame.

[@ricardoortiz4870]

I knew she looked familiar when I first watched Wednesday.

[@Wix_Mitwirth]

The mark 42 has got to be a Douglas Adams reference, right? Like, it keeps failing because a suit of armour can't be The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, or something.

[@elizabethlanham4131]

OKokOK, but they shot the Barrel of Monkeys scene practically!!! Soooo cool.

[@abramsalinas1004]

Happy day Emme !!

I got excited seeing this post!!! HECK YEAH!!!

[@barelywatch9278]

Happy was in Ironman 2 as well. So Happy been his bodyguard for a long time.

[@jhilal2385]

There is a bunch of other stuff that ties in to the MCU that some people miss: 1) A series of short films originally bonus features on the Blu-Rays, now on Disney+, called "Marvel One-Shots": - "Marvel One-Shot #1: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer" - occurs after Phil Coulson leaves during "Iron Man 2", but before he arrives in New Mexico in "Thor" - "Marvel one-Shot #2: The Consultant" - occurs while Coulson is in New Mexico during "Thor". Ties into the end of "Iron man 2" and the end of "Incredible Hulk". Watch before Captain America Winter Soldier" - "Marvel One-Shot #3: Item 47" - Occurs after "The Avengers". Blueprints scrolling behind the end credits tie into the opening scene of "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron". Introduces Agent Blake played by Titus Welliver, who appears several times in "Agents of Shield" (see below). - "Marvel One-Shot #4: Hail To The King" - Occurs after "Iron Man 3". Must Watch before beginning MCU Phase 4. 2x mid-credits scenes with Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer from "Iron Man 2". - "Marvel One-Shot #5: Agent Carter" - Occurs in 1946 after "Captain America". Effectively the pilot episode for the series "Agent Carter". 2) TV series on ABC (owned by Disney) "Agents of SHIELD" begins after "Iron Man 3". Picks up the hunt for EXTREMIS. Very obvious when "Thor 2" and "Captain America 2" fit between episodes. 3) TV series on ABC (owned by Disney) "Agent Carter" begins after "Agent Carter" One Shot. 4) "Marvel Street Level Heroes" originally on Netflix, now on Disney+. Set in New York City, beginning after "Avengers". Must watch before "Spiderman No Way Home", or Disney+ series' "Hawkeye" and "She-Hulk". These series' share secondary characters, antagonists, and locations; have cross-over episodes with heroes from other series; and build to an "Avengers"-style team-up. Lots of big-name actors, pay attention to the credits. - The order to watch is: Daredevil season 1 Jessica Jones season 1 (intruduces Luke cage and Jeri Hogarth) Daredevil season 2 (introduces Frank Castle and Elektra Natchios) Luke Cage season 1 Iron Fist season 1 The Defenders team-up mini-series The Punisher season 1 Jessica Jones season2 Luke Cage season 2 Iron Fist season 2 Daredevil season 3 The Punisher season 2 Jessica Jones season 3

[@shinjjjiii.]

u made my saturday

[@ivanzamarripa9393]

so excited watching this journey

[@Wix_Mitwirth]

Why Tony broke the guy's phone: dude f*ed up and asked the question. Since we're not supposed to be taking extrajudicial revenge on criminals, asking when that will happen lacks moral backing; and he then forces Tony to invite an attack at his home in order to not do that. His recording of this event is destroyed so he can't use it for his story, and Tony covers the few hundred bucks for a new phone. F* that guy.

[@Lexbut]

6:50 his anxiety is from the invasion of new year in avengers

Happy in 1999 was going through a Pulp Fiction phase. :)

[@BigSeth1090]

21:44 fun fact: Burger King didn’t sponsor the first one either. That was specifically put in by RDJ; during the worst part of his life, he had the “I need help” moment of clarity while eating a very sub-par Burger King burger, and he wanted that parallel

If it didn't happen on camera, it didn't happen at all. One of the most important things to keep in mind when talking about weddings Also check out the marvel shorts... they help explain certain things happening. Like the Mandarin.

[@hardcorepoetic]

I highly recommend watching the Marvel short "Hail to the King." It helps with later continuity and it's pretty entertaining.

[@Jessica_Roth]

Oh, sure, you wouldn't become a villain. That's what they all say. At this point it's not entirely clear when Tony was born (RDJ was born in 1964), but they eventually settle on 1970. So he's 29 when he stands up Killian, 38 when he becomes Iron Man, and 42 during this story. Yes, it's a Christmas movie. That ended up getting released in MAY. Oops. No, Einstein didn't sleep 3 hours a year. In fact, he believed in sleeping 10 hours a day.

So regarding Hartley coming back... I don't think it's a spoiler to say he does make a cameo in Avengers: End Game, though you may not recognize him because he kinda hit puberty between the two films.

Vindication! This one was actually kind of unpopular when it first came out. I think comic fans were disappointed that The Mandarin was turned into a surprise gag. I always thought it was a great entry in Tony's story, though.

[@ryanmaroney7917]

Good pick. Ironman movies are something good. Very good. You missed the doctor from the cave in Ironman 1 introducing him at the new years eve party in act one of this movie. I know you'll want to revisit that...

This film got bad reviews when it was released mostly due Mandarin was iconic villain and turn Mandarin into comical relief actor... Well, it did cause backlash. Regarding your question about shadows. They are known as Blast Shadows. This were first known to happen in Hiroshima. The nuclear heat blast can imprint victims silhouette on surrounding. When the flash bleaches hard surface, like stone, leaving humans and other bojects shadows inprinted on walls after that.
